ON THK DIAMOND.
Un last Monday afternoon the first game ol
ball for this seasou between Newberry and
the borne tearu was called on schedule time
at4:3(1 o'clock. The boys were in good spirits
and Hue trim, aud a close aud Interesting
game was played throughout. The crowd
not as large as usual, owlug we suppose to the
threatening appearance ol the elements, as a
storm seemed brewing until late in the game.
We heard some compialut among the crowd
as to a want of 1 merest, irom the tact that
tnere was a very small percentage of the
home team, "Abbeville boys,"' but this should
not be the existing feeling from the fact thai
the "specials" now playlnn on the Abbeville |
team are "Abbeville boys" for the ball season,
beside* it must be remembered that the opposing
teams are not all of the town from
whence they come, hut Just as the Abbeville
team, are "picked up" here and there. At
lilts close of the 'JLh idiiiuk we score mimu a iu
0 In favor of Abbeville. Mr. J. L. McMillan
acted as umpire. Mr. Dendy Miller was the
ooly Abbeville boy who played on tlie special
' team which was quite complimentary.
Dendy is a tine pJayer lor his size and general
make up.

COLLEGE BOYS AND GIRLS AT
BOXE.
The Commencement exercises ol many ol
tbe colleges being over, our boys and girls
are once more eujoying tbe comforts and

ones and frieuds. Among those returned to
Abbevll le are:
Miss Lillian Uambrell from Wllliamston,

ANOTHER ECLIPSE. *
The "Boxers" war In China has almost
totally eclipsed the Mouth American War, to
such an extent that the English can almost
realize the dawn of peace. Question?Will
the sacrifice in lives and money already
made by Great Urlttlan compensate them tor
their Interest in the Transvaal gold mines?
We think this a good subject for debate.
Perhaps the same question mlgbt appropriately
be asked of the United States in their
vrreat sacrifice of llle and tremendous expen
aiture ol money with Cuba and the rninpplues,
to say nothing ot tne war with Spain.
LOOKS WAKLIKK.
America, England, France, Russia, Germany,
ami Japan, each have a number ol
war ships In Cninese waters to guard their
<* Interests, and protect life and property from
mob violence now waging war in the Chinese
Empire. Trouble Is evidently brewing between
one or more of these powers and a
great war seems imminent.

KF.t.liaoiS SERVICES IN THK MKTHOI) 1ST
CHtncir.
The services in the Methodist Church Inst
Sunday morning and ulght were v?ry InterI
Rstiug. l)r. Itaniel took lor his subject in the
: morning the "New Birth," and showed that
j this was the true and only way into theKingilom
of God, us ancestral blood was in
Itself good, and of which Individuals and
nations were both proud of. but It would not
itvuil, It being alone transmitted, while the
"New Birth" was a Divine work within us.
His concluding remarks were earnest and
very suggestive. Do you as a Christian
j "Know God?" or do you only know of Him.
He claimed that many church workers who
j called themselves Christians only '-knew of
I God." His earnest appeal was that we all
might be experimental and not sentimental
Christians and In the last hour look up and
I cry Abba Father, having been adopted into
the Heavenly Kingdom. His subject at
i night was "The Situation in China." We
had a full choir, and the musical exercises
morning and evening were fine.

St. Louis, June 10.?The day JuBt ended has
been one of the most eventtul and bloody
since the great strike on the St. Louis Transit
lines began more than one month ago. There
were numerous encounters between strikers
and other individuals and the constituted
authorities resulting in three deaths and the
wounding of live or more persons, mostly
strikers. One of the latter will die.
The dead:
C. Edward Thomas, striking conductor on
the Chouteau avenue line; shot in breast by
deputy sheriff, died on way to hospital.
George Blue, striking motorman on Delmar
avenue line; shot in abdomen by deputy
sheriff, died at hospital. ?.
Fred Boehm, citizen, shot and Instantly
killed while standing In hlB front yard by
deputy sheriff. v.
The wounded.
Ed Burkhart, striking conductor on Delmar
avenue line; shot in head, may die.
/i/\n/Jn/itn? AM lha 1 .AO QVPnilO
Hue; abut in right hand and arm, serious.
August Smith, shot In right arm aud breast,
not serious.
Charles Ludwig, shot in band, not serious.
The day was quiet, until tbls afternoon
when the police were taken ofl a number of
streetcar lines for (he purpose of giving tbem
a rest and to test the ability of tbe Transit
company to operaie without friction. Cars
were in operation during the day time on all
the lines of tbe Transit company except tbe
Southwestern. Tonight cars were run under
police protection until midnight on the Park
avenue, Olive street, Lindell division and
Laolede avenue line.
The most serious trouble broke out between
5 and 7 o'clock in front of the six-story building
on Washington avenue between Broadway
and Sixth streets, occupied by the
sheriffs posse comitatus as a barracks and
headquarters. Several hundred striking
street car men had gone to East St. Louis
earlier In tbe day to attend a plcnlo given for
their benefit. Toward evening tbey began
returning home singly, In groops or two or
three, and others In companies of a hundred
or more. No serious trouble occurred until
nnsnf these coniDHDies. composed of nearly
ISO street car men in uniform and beaded hy
a dmm corps, came west on Washington. In
tbeir caps some had cards bearing these
words: "Uulon or nothing; liberty or
death."
The men were marching along the sidewalk
on the south side of Washington
avenue opposite the posse barracks. They
were In a jocular mood, and ?a near as can be
learned, had no iutention of making any
trouble. Just as they were passing the barracks
a car of the Pr./k avenue division was
going west. A number of the men broke
from the line and rushed to the car with the
Intention. it Is said, of boarding it and taking
a ilde. Another statement was made that It
was the Intention of the strikers to assault
the tnotoriodn and conductor, whose car was
without police guard. However that may be.
the trouble started here. A brick was
thrown through the car window and a shot
was flred by somebody unknown.
At the first Intimation of trouble members
of the sherltTs posse swarmed from the building
and surrounded the crowd ot strikers
about the car, calling nnon them to disperse.
Other shots were flred and then some of the
/lAM.itiac inrnoH lst/Mca fholr ronfiflllnc chnt..
guns loaded with buckshot. As far as can be
learned, only four of the men lu the strikers'
ranks were hit. Not a deputy was wounded,
even.
Jefferson, City, Mo., June 10.?Gov. Stephens
said this evening that everything Is being
putln readiness for calling out the National
Guard of Missouri to quell disorder In St.
Louis consequent to the street railway strike,
hut he will not issue the call except as a last
resort.
It will cost, he said, S.*?,(K)0 to land 23,000 men
In St. Louis and as much per day to maintain
them. It might, he said, require an
extra session of the legislature to appropriate
the money.
MOUNT CARMELS GRIEVANCE
Fiona Meditations I>lNlurbo?l on Mini
day l>y Negro Excni-NloiiiMt*.
Mt. Carmel.S. C., June 7, 1900.
At a public meeting held at Town Academy
on Wednesday, June the 7, by tbe citizens of
Mt. Carmel and surrounding country, .j. jr.
Clement was elected Chairman, and W. L.
Miller, Sr., Secretary.
The following petition and resolution were
adopted :
Wishing to devise some meanR to prevent
trains on the 0. & W. C. Railroad from
bringing negro excursionists to Mt. Carmel
on the Sabbath day, we call the attention
of the General Superintendent of said road
to the fact that on Sabbath day, June 3rd,
between the hours of eight and nine o'clock
A. M.. that a train, property of said Railroad,
did stop and deliver In the incorporate limits
of said town a number of negroes, many of
whom were armed with pistols and other
weapons of violence, and that on the 6ald
Sabbath day many of our cttlzens were insulted,
the laws of the land W6re set at defiance
and reckless dissipation and wild
carousal characterized the conduct of the
negroe. In view of these facts as law abiding
citizens, taxpayers, and church members we
cannot let such conduct go unrebuked. And
do respectfully petition the General Superintendent
of said railroad not to allow any
more trains to deliver negro excursionist
or any other excursionists at the town
ofMt. Carmel on the Sabbath day. We fully
recognize the right to accomodate the
traveling publics, bat we deny the right to
inflict upon a Christian community upon the
Lord's day a set of notorious neeroe characters,
outlaws, and ruffians, who defy the
written law of the land, wbooome to gamble
and drink in the very shadow of our church,
and Indulge In such'^'cQntlousness and
drunkenness, as only bestial and debauched
men can do.
The following resolution was also adopted :
While we would heartily eondemo the
disreputable and dlograoeftiL' ooudnct of tbe
negroes wbo bad intruded tUemselves upon
us, we wish to commend the action of the
colored people oi.iblB commanftty, especially
those of them who bravely, stood wlih
the whites when a bloody riot was imminent.
Respectfully,
W. L. Miller, Sr, ; J. P. Clement,

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS AM>
SOUTH AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
Electric Car* to Connect Snbnrban
, Towns of Atlanta, Anjjnsta, Charteuton,
Columbia, Spartanbnrc,
Greenville, Anderson and Dne
West.
Rnniizln? the lmmenne oroflt to result in
this city, and especially tr? this State, from
holding a Great Interstate, Philippine Islands
and South American Exposition, Abbeville
will not hesitate to become the soene of the
greatest Exposition that was ever held.
Abbeville believes In Helf-belp, but will
allow other cities to participate in the profits
of this Great Exposition, as well as to contribute
something to the capital stock of the
Association,
Contraots have not yet been awarded for
the magniflcant buildings whose towers and
roofs may reach. to the skies, bat a host of
contractors siand ready to bid on the work as
soon as the architects complete the plans.
The time being limited the work of preparation
for this Great Exposition will be poshed
in accordanoe with the necessities of the case.
Books of subscription will be presented to
our people at the proper time and in due
season application will be made to the Legislature
for an appropriation to the capital
stock of the Exposition Association. This
application is not made as a request, but
rather as granting a privilege to other portions
of tne State to participate In the immense
advantages that are to result from the
Inter-State. Philippine Islands and South
American Exposition. It would be selfish In
Abbeville to seek to reap the sole advantage
of tbe Exposition, and therefore with the
spirit of true generosity this city proposes to
grant theState tbe privilege of contributing
something to tbe capital stock of tbe Asso
elation, when the Commonwealth may
realize a large share of the resultant advantages
arlBlngfrom the Great Exposition,
The Abbeville Exposition Company, in
furtherance of patriotic Impulses, will no
doubt propose to connect the suburban cities
by electric cars, so that tbe advantages of the
Exposition may be evenly spread over the
whole State and part of Georgia. Hourly
trains may be expected between the outlying
cities of Atlanta. Augusta, Cbarleston, Columbia,
Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson.
Due West, and Intermediate points. Excur
81008 10 me war suip iu uunnoiiivu um uui
may be had on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the
attractions of the Exposition may be so great
that Charleston harbor may be so lull of all
kinds of great ships that little room may be
had for turning around. It is supposed therefore,
that on the occasion ol this Exposition,
they will have to back out. The ruins of the
Naval Station In Port Koyal harbor will be
visited according to the pleasure of excursionists.
Ajjulnaldo, and his patriotic followers in
tbo distant islands of the Sea, may be expected
to be present during the-Exposition,
so that he may meet bis sympathizers in this
country, and take a rest from the ceaseless
annoyance of Ill-mannered United States
troops.
Each of Agnlnaldo'e soldiers will be treated
to a ougyf-tof pure gold from Bradley's gold
mine oa Look Cane?the nugget to be of the
size of the soldier's foot alter the shoe and
sock have been removed.
Scientists from all parts of the earth will be
permitted to carry away with them the
finest specimens of the rarest diamonds
which may be thrown up from any volcano
oo Little Mountain.
The advantages which Abbeville and South
Carolina are to reap are many. Rich men In
every quarter of the globe may come here
and view our red hills, look upon our deep
glllieys, nee our marisLiy uuiiuiup, auu wodjj
over our barren hills. Wllh the true
missionary spirit they may dedicate their
time and their money to showing us bow to I
become a thrifty and a prosperous people.
This would be glory enough for the average
philanthropist. Wealthy Itinerant philanthropists
would no doubt assemble at once
and make an appropriation for the hire of a
night watchmaD, or else Induce one of their
number to go around and wake up the individual
sleeping citizens or the dead towns
which have done little since the war, except
to exult over tbeir former prestige wblie
weeping over visions of their vanishing
glory.
$40,000.
ClinrlPMton mill West India Promises
Much.
The excellent work of the special committee
on Exposition subscriptions, which visited
New York to confer with the Presidents of
railroads entering Charleston, has resulted in
adding ?40.000 to the slock of the Houtb CaroII
Tn/llon I? v nnol H/\n
Illlil lUltJI-OUHC nuu ironv luuiau ha|<uoiuuu
company. This subscription was made by
the Southern Hallway, the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Plant System. In addition to
this, $2,000 was secured from the Clyde
Steamship Line. These subscriptions post
lively insure the success of the project and
the Exposition Company will likely be
organized within a few days.
The committee now at tbe Nortb, also
anticipates qtber subscriptions in New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and otber cities and tbe
outlook is bright Indeed.
Wherever one turns, tbe most encouraging
reports are heard and the whole country
seems to be willing and ready to help South
Carolina, now that she has shown a disposition
to help herself.
With the slock previouslv taken the figures
now stand at about. 3175,000, and there Is
much more "in sight."
The people of South Carolina generally,
have been Invited to Join In this movement
and the shares have been placed at 83 each, lo
order that every citizen may be personally
intprpafpd. If he so desires. Subscription
books have been sent to nearly every county
in tbe State, and all wbo desire (o aid in tbe
splendid project can sign for sucti amounts
as they see fit, in the presence and with the
advice of their fellow townsmen.
Tbe Hon. Franfc B. Gary and Mr. Aug. W.
